Abstract

In this paper, we present a constructive heuristic algorithm for the $2$-connected $m$-dominating set problem. It is based on a greedy heuristic in which a 2-connected subgraph is iteratively extended with suitable open ears. The growth procedure is an adaptation of the breadth-first-search which efficiently manages to find open ears. Further, a heuristic function is defined for selecting the best ear out of a list of candidates. The performance of the basic approach is improved by adding a correction procedure which removes unnecessary nodes from a generated solution. Finally, randomization is included and the method is extended towards the GRASP metaheuristic. In our computational experiments, we compare the performance of the proposed algorithm to recently published results and show that the method is highly competitive and especially suitable for dense graphs.

Factorisability of Low Dimensional Non-Negative Integer Matrices

We consider the problem of determining if a given two-dimensional nonnegative integer matrix $M$ is the product of two such matrices, excluding trivial units. A matrix $M$ with no such factorisation is called prime and therefore belongs to the minimal (infinite rank) generator of $2 \times 2$ matrices over the natural numbers, otherwise it is called composite. We also consider the problem of finding a (non-unique) factorisation of a composite matrix. Our results have applications in computational group theory and the theory of codes, where such matrices are called incidence matrices. We analyse the complexity of primality and finding a factorisation for a composite matrix, providing a first efficient algorithm.

The parameterised complexity of generalised temporal domination on temporal graphs with modular structure

Inspired by the static problem $(α,β)$-Dominating Set, we propose a general temporal domination problem, called $(α,β)$-Temporal Dominating Set ($(α,β)$-TDS). We show that this problem encompasses Temporal Dominating Set, and additionally provides first temporal extensions of problems such as $k$-Dominating Set and $α$-Dominating Set. In this paper, we study the parameterised complexity of $(α,β)$-TDS with respect to temporal neighbourhood diversity (TND), temporal modular-width (TMW), and temporal cliquewidth (TCW). We obtain fixed parameter tractability results for all values of $α$ and $β$ with respect to TND; W[1]-hardness with respect to TMW and TCW whenever $β$ is in the problem input, or whenever $α\in (0,1)$ and $β$ is a fixed constant; and para-NP-hardness with respect to TCW when $α= 0$ and $β= 1$, or $α= 1$ and $β= 0$.
